Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 648

In the apartment—

As time passed, Kobi still hadn't arrived yet.

Kevin started to feel anxious and he glared at Emily in the corner. "If he doesn't come, I'll kill you first!"

But she didn't seem to hear him. Her eyes were empty.

"Darren! Is everything ready?" Kevin shouted loudly.

Darren came out of the bedroom and replied, "Yeah, but are you sure you wanna do that?"

Kevin snorted. "Of course! Kobi not only tried to scheme against me, but he even tried to kill me vicariously through Jimmy. So how could I not take revenge?"

With that, Darren had nothing to say.

Pausing for a while, Kevin then said, "Anyway, thanks for helping this time. I'll repay your favor in the future."

"Nah, I help you because I don't wanna owe you anymore." If it hadn't been for Kevin who had saved his life, he would have been dead.

Just as Kevin was about to say something, the doorbell rang, to which he responded with a bloodthirsty excitement and said, "He's here!"

Emily, who was sitting on the sofa, subconsciously looked towards the door.

"I didn't expect you to be a little useful after all," Kevin glanced at her and said, "Kobi is willing to come to save you. How surprising is that."

Meanwhile, Darren opened the door, and suddenly, a gun was pointed at him, followed by Kobi's warning. "Don't move."

Darren looked behind him. "Did you come alone?"

However, Kobi couldn't be bothered to answer. "Where's Emily?"

In the living room, Emily, who heard his voice, began to struggle.

Kevin shouted, "Take him in."

Darren gave ways to Kobi and gestured for him to come in. In the meantime, the gun was still pointed at Darren's head, though Darren didn't seem to be afraid of it and looked indifferent still.

On the other hand, Kevin used Emily as his shield and stared coldly at Kobi, commanding, "Put down your gun."

Kobi glanced at Emily. Her mouth was sealed with tape, and she looked haggard. There were tears rolling down her cheek.

Pursing his lips, he did not move.

Seeing that, Kevin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you not gonna put it down?"

Kobi stared at him indifferently. "Let her go."

Kevin sneered.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

Emily widened her eyes. The pain caused her to break into cold sweats.

Instantly, Kobi got furious and yelled, "Kevin!"

Withdrawing his gun, Kevin said with a smile, "Now, I only shot her in the leg. But next time, the bullet will shoot through her head."

He was forcing Kobi to give up his weapon.

Soon, Kobi threw away his gun and asked, "Now what?"

Kevin raised his chin and motioned for Darren to pick up the gun, which Darren did. Then, Darren came to him with a dark look and said, "You've promised me not to hurt innocent people. Why did you break your word?"

"Well, he wouldn't have listened to me if I hadn't done this."

With a frown, Kevin then added, "Besides, she's not dead. It was just a gunshot wound."

Darren looked at him expressionlessly and said nothing. Then, he went to get a medical kit to bandage Emily's wound. "It might hurt a little. Please bear with it for a second."
